At the end of a marathon hearing Tuesday after dozens of people lobbied against a huge, 56,000-acre wind farm project, the Laramie County Commission denied it.
The Laramie County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday denied a controversial wind energy development proposal three times the size of Cheyenne after getting an earful from dozens of county residents opposed to the project.
The Laramie Range Wind Project, backed by Spanish energy giant Repsol, had a long line of people speaking out against the project, claiming the up to 170 wind turbines could disturb local wildlife and become an eyesore.
After a more than four-hour hearing, the commission voted the project down in a 3-1 vote.
